Jason Lane to Padres for PTBNL and $ (for a whole week!)

Injury-depleted Padres acquire OF Jason Lane from Houston

 

Didn't even know Mike Cameron may be out for the regular season as well with a strained ligament in his thumb.

Since both Cameron and Bradley are injured Lane could be added to the playoff roster.

[Baldkin]

My understanding was that he had to at least be in the organization by Aug 31 for that to happen.

 

Because no matter how many injuries the Brewers had, Ray King couldn't be on our playoff roster, right?

[kgbaseball]

True. He's not eligible.

New GM Ed Wade demanded and received three fish tacos with grouper for Lane, rather than the tilapia the Padres offered. "We get grouper or we walk," said the veteran Wade. The Padres buckled.

Can anybody remember a later trade than this?

The Padres are really hurting at this point. Hopefully Bud Black wont tackle Jake Peavy any time soon.

it seems like Jason Lane always kills Milwaukee, I don't know why I feel like that, maybe the stats don't even warrant that opinion, but it seems like he wants to face the Brewers.

Since both Cameron and Bradley are injured Lane could be added to the playoff roster.

I think that loophole existed in the past, but I also think it was closed after the Angels used it during their World Series season. The article linked in the lead post says Lane won't be eligible.

Jason Lane has hurt us a number of times in the past. I don't want to see him again this weekend.

 

In 2005 Mike Stanton was traded to Red Sox on the last Thursday of the season.

From Jerry Crasnick's latest article (the same one linked in the other thread about Yost):

 

General manager Kevin Towers tried to fill the short-term void Monday by picking up Jason Lane from Houston. Lane has a .367 career average against Ben Sheets, Yovani Gallardo, David Bush, and Jeff Suppan,the four starters that San Diego will face this weekend in its season-ending series in Milwaukee, so look for him to see action against the Brewers.

I read somewhere that Peavy is pitching Weds so unless they bring him back on 3 days rest we will miss him.

 

Probably won't make any difference but I thought it was worth noting.

 

They tried to pitch him on 3 days rest earlier this month and he got knocked around(8 earned runs) and lasted only 4 innings.
